non-recipe of Peanut Noodles

[Guest guest]

Here is how I throw together a quick meal of peanut noodles. First I boil a

packet of ramen noodles in vegetable broth, leaving out the seasoning packet

that typically comes with those noodles. Then I toss in some sliced scallions,

about two or three depending upon their size, some snow peas [a palmful or

quarter cup?], and if I have any, some sliced fresh mushrooms [again, about a

palmful]. I let all of this cook down a bit to reduce the liquid; takes all of

three

minutes I think. At the end I stir in several spoonfuls of natural peanut butter

which probably measures out to be 3 tablespoons give or take. Finally, several

generous squirts of sriracha hot sauce and a pinch of red pepper flakes. I have

never measured the hot sauce, but if pressed to come up with a unit of

measure, I'd have to guess it is close to two tablespoons.

I will eat this hot in the cooler weather but I also enjoy it served cold on a

bed of

fresh spinach leaves or sliced deseeded cucumber.

I hope you all will enjoy trying this dish. If it isn't proper enough to be

placed

in the files here as I have typed it then I understand and it is of no

consequence

to me.

Warmly,

Lawrence
